Milk Storage Tank

Applications

The Milk Storage Tank is widely used in dairy farms, milk collection centers, dairy processing plants, pasteurization units, cheese plants, yogurt factories, ice cream plants, and commercial milk processing facilities. It can be installed as a buffer or storage tank between milk reception, pasteurization, homogenization, fermentation, filling, and other processing stages.

Key Benefits

The Milk Storage Tank provides hygienic milk storage, uniform product mixing, reduced manual handling, easy product transfer, and reliable integration with dairy processing lines. An optional slow-speed agitator helps prevent cream separation and maintains product uniformity without excessive agitation. Insulated configurations help reduce unwanted temperature changes, while smooth stainless-steel product-contact surfaces facilitate cleaning and sanitation. The tank can be customized in different capacities, orientations, insulation systems, outlet arrangements, and automation levels according to the dairy plant requirement.

Construction & Operation

The tank is typically constructed with a stainless-steel inner vessel, insulated body, outer cladding, sanitary manhole, agitator, temperature sensor, hygienic inlet and outlet, level indication or sensor, and supporting legs. Milk is transferred into the tank through a sanitary pipeline and stored under the required process conditions. Where fitted, the agitator operates at a controlled speed to maintain product homogeneity. Milk can then be discharged through the sanitary outlet to the next processing or packaging stage. Optional CIP connections, digital temperature controls, level sensors, sampling valves, and automated controls can be provided.
